Fishing conditions have gotten tough to say the least! But if you are patient and focused... some big ones can be caught. Water levels are looking pretty good at the moment in the rivers in my area. Tons of hydrilla built up in the middle of the streams causing fish...

Fishing conditions have gotten tough to say the least! But if you are patient and focused... some big ones can be caught. Water levels are looking pretty good at the moment in the rivers in my area. Tons of hydrilla built up in the middle of the streams causing fish to move in and out of freely as they please... so patience in these areas are needed. But, due to this the fish are extremely spooky once they come out of these weeds. Water clarity is second to none at the moment though, and it has been interesting to see the river bottoms in those deeper pools. You definitely want to move about the banks and rivers like "Yoda"... and hover if you can haha. But, by being sneaky, quiet, and precise with your casting can be a massive game changer that calls for post fishing reward beers!

Lake Austin - It seems to be fishing pretty well right now with the cooling weather. We have done well recently by using a jig w/ a double tail grub as a trailer around shallow wood cover. We've also done well in these same areas with a hollow body frog.

We are doing well catching huge numbers of bass putting 50-80 bass in the boat each trip. We are targeting large schools of nomadic offshore bass that are suspended over 30-100 ft of water. Small soft plastic jerkbaits are the ticket!

Stillhouse Hollow Lake - Awesome fishing right now for huge numbers of good sized bass. We are catching bass from schools that are roaming open water in search of shad. Use your electronics to find them and then use a weightless soft jerkbait to catch them!

Top water has been really good in the mornings and evenings. Been able to cruise the foster banks and get consistent action

Decker Lake - If the wind lays down and let's you fish offshore, the fishing can be great! Utilize your electronics to look for giant schools of offshore bass. We are doing well catching them with swimbaits, jerkbaits, and a fluke junior on a drop shot rig

Low water levels!! Very hot, and warm water... need to get out there early and late if your trying to get on some nice fish! With these low levels... means spookier fish, especially the carp. The sight casting as been second to none though. But, the difficulty has gone up...

The sight casting as been second to none though. But, the difficulty has gone up immensely. Definitely need to being your A-game, patience, and a motivation to hook up with these elusive critters. The bite is there if you move about like Yoda. The cfs seems to be very low as well, so fish have been in pools here in central texas. But midday fishing is almost impossible right now.
